Starfield is a 7/10. Get over it.
You can do better than a dead end job.
It's not about me.
These companies want way too much from a applicant for what the job is. You can find another easy enough.

Uh... The counter point to it is that they also get way too many crack heads who won't work and are hard to fire. *shrug* some of the ways we judge someone is to look at them and go "This person has zero retail in their work experience they're probably going to quit in a couple weeks" and we pass on them.
Did you mention any previous job(s) when applying? If so you might be overqualified.

Despite being here for nearly 20 years I have no idea who TC is.
It's not about me.
I applied at my current company directly and was rejected. I went through a recruiter and the recruiter got me in at the same company that had turned me down lol i ended up working 8 years there then left. Got laid off at the new place 5 years later and went back to my old company which iv been there now for 2 years...
Yeah I don't know why they reject so much but the whole process is a pain in the ass

One time I was applying at Burger King and the lady kept me waiting for 4 hours before they told me to come back tomorrow. Then I waited for another 4 hours until this fat woman came out and told me I wasn't what they were looking for.

I waited 8 hours on a sticky plastic bench for an interview and wasn't even mad about it, and yet I'm still not good enough to flip burgers. Ok.

Probably because I answered one of the stupid questions wrong. That or the lady just hated men. I also think employers in general shun guys with long hair.

That's when you tell them how you can be contacted by phone and you leave.

I have been employed in various positions in the last 10 years with long hair.

A lot of the interview process is just seeing if your personality matches the rest of the workplace. No one wants to work with someone who is going to argue with you all day, or can't stand being around you.

That is the case at pretty much every level, from a minimum wage job to someone making $500K a year.

How are companies gonna turn down anyone when everyone is short handed? It makes no sense. My job does that too for some reason. If you are short handed you hire anyone you can and if they don't work out you just fire them.

This is the mindset of someone who has never had to hire. Sometimes hiring the wrong person is worse than just stretching your hours with the people you already have.

Yeah. Some interview process are just crazy. The last one I went on wasn't that crazy but still was odd for me. They had the manager and three members of staff sat on a bench and four of us sat around them. We were given a random shoe protection product to try and sell. The job was working for a shoe/cloths shop so I get that. Needless to say it didn't work out as I wasn't expecting a dragons den type of interview to work in a place like that. Also I was the oldest at the interview including the staff. I have a beard and longish hair too so I already knew I didn't fit into the image of teenagers that most of the staff looked like and the rest of the people attending the interview. I live and learn I guess.

One who knows nothing can understand nothing.

If they are a shitty worker then fire them, don't go on months long stretches of being short handed, that's worse for employee morale than having a shitty worker in for 2 weeks

no I would legit rather be short-handed than be training some goon that will literally waste my time. I could really only see this rationale in an extremely simple warehouse job, but even then, I've worked jobs like that where they hire someone useless that drags things down.

I used to work at toys r us and every Christmas we would have the one seasonal worker who was literally useless, too dumb to put stuff in the right spot on the shelf. We would have that person do cardboard. One year I heard a weird banging noise so I went to the back and the dumb ass of that year was beating on the bailer with a mallet I asked what he was doing and he just kinda makes a weird shrug. Dumb ass had broken the bailer by beating the circuit box with the hammer because he couldn't get the door pulled down all the way.

There is genuinely no job where you can "just hire anyone" and be content with it.

You can always find a legal reason to fire a shitty worker, they're a shitty worker after all

I've trained some real bums that I didn't think were worth a day but it's still better to at least try instead of being forced to do the work of 2+ people. Right now I have a coworker who does a decent job, he's not a world beater or anything but he's good enough, and they didn't even want to hire him, he had to call back multiple times before they gave him a chance. We have been severely shorthanded at that position for months as well. Also they have had to hold back on giving full promotions because of it. How would you feel if you were told you can cross train at your new position but you can't completely leave your current position yet because you are too short handed?

Doesn't sound like you're in fast food / retail and have no concern for the law.

I'm not in either of those, and I do care for the law but like, you can get fired for poor workplace performance, if you are a shitty worker you probably have bad performance, or you come in late, or you are getting in fights with/harassing other employees/ customers. How bad can you be and not do something worthy of getting fired over?

Winery with a kitchen, it has its problems but it's the best paying job I ever had, the biggest problem is mostly being short handed and not hiring people though I could probably go to any fancy restaurant with the experience I got here and possibly make more but I also get great insurance here

Damn, that's awesome that you get insurance at a kitchen job. I've worked kitchens from holes in the wall to 5-star remote lodge stuff. Sorry for being rude, I'm sure it's not a dumphole. Kitchens are inherently stressful as hell and have high turnover. I'm glad I'm not in the industry any more. Your logic definitely works out for dishwashers and probably some other staff.

At that point I just felt like they were trying to make me leave so I sat there out of spite.

I would have literally sat there for multiple more days.

He said burger king. It's one of those scenarios where you really want to know what their motivation was for being so unprofessional.
The only question Burger King should be asking is "are you willing to spend 8 hours doing something you don't want to do"

I proved that I was capable of that.

were you over 30? Don't most fast food places prefer younger workers and kinda look down on guys over 30? though that may be unfair.
No, I think I was like 21.

This

people shouldnt waste their time just mindlessly using LinkedIn/company websites when theyre just starting out. A good job recruiter can land you a solid gig in a temp-to-perm contract, provided you do well.

I havent talked to my old housemate since I moved out months ago, but I remember urging him to just use one since he was always bitching about his grocery store job. Never did it because he kept telling me he had a work from home job right around the corner and Im willing to bet hes still just going on indeed and half-assedly clicking on the quick apply jobs, not bothering to make a quick cover letter, and then being sad that he isnt where he should be.

My other housemates gf needed a job, and I referred her to the job recruiter my company uses for a lot of our entry level positions. She landed an office job within 2 weeks of making her account/uploading her resume, and is still there almost 2 years later

I worked at a fast food chain for 2 years back in college. I applied for like 15 of them in my area and only ONE of them called me for an interview. I actually dressed up a little bit, but got the job.

While I worked there we would constantly hire drug addict people who would start and quit like 2 weeks later. They'd brag they just got fired from Burger King or somewhere the previous day.

One dude actually got fired for stealing hamburger meat by putting it in trash bags and then acting like he was taking out the trash, but secretly slipping it to a friend.

I still have NO IDEA how these people get hired when good potential employees are given messages like TC constantly.

I honestly think fast food restaurants just hire drug addicts on purpose instead of HS/College kids looking for part-time work.
I was saving for college when I worked at McDonald's. I wore a suit to my interview.

The irony is, a lot of employers will avoid hiring you if you meet the requirements too well.

I just skimmed the topic and didn't see anyone else mention this (but I might have missed it if someone did or they're someone I have blocked), but a lot of low-level businesses will deliberately pass on any applicants they considered to be overqualified. The mindset being that they're looking for someone who will remain in the job for a prolonged period (to justify time spent training them), and that someone who is overqualified won't necessarily be a worthwhile investment of time and effort.

It was a problem I had when I was looking for temp jobs while I was in college, and applying to places like The Home Depot. They basically told me I was too skilled for the job and they didn't consider it worth hiring me because I'd probably just quit and move on to a better job as soon as I was able (which, admittedly, I later did with the different retail job I got later - so they weren't wrong).

Places like Wal-Mart or fast food basically want bottom-tier employees because they want people who lack aspirations and don't really have potential to do any better. Because then they can be sure you'll be dedicated to your job and won't leave.
